NextGen TV Is Here. Is Your Setup Ready?
ATSC 3.0 (NextGen TV) is officially rolling out across the United States, offering free 4K broadcasts, immersive audio, and smarter features. But there’s one catch—most households aren’t ready.
If your current TV can’t decode ATSC 3.0 signals, you’re not alone. But you don’t need to replace your television to upgrade. You just need one simple device: the GTMEDIA Converter X1.
Why You Might Not Be Ready for ATSC 3.0
While NextGen TV is being broadcast in dozens of major U.S. cities, most TVs on the market—even newer ones—still don’t include an ATSC 3.0 tuner. That means:
- You’ll still receive ATSC 1.0 signals (standard HD), not 4K
- You miss out on enhanced audio, emergency alerts, and interactive features
- You can’t future-proof your home setup
Unless your TV specifically says “ATSC 3.0 built-in,” it likely needs a converter box to take advantage of these features.
The Smart Solution: GTMEDIA Converter X1
Instead of spending hundreds or thousands on a new TV, the GTMEDIA Converter X1 brings you full ATSC 3.0 capability—plus a whole lot more:
- Supports ATSC 3.0 and ATSC 1.0: Works in every U.S. broadcast market
- Android 11.0 Smart TV Features: Watch Netflix, YouTube, and more
- EPG + DVR: Record, pause, and rewind live TV
- Simple Setup: HDMI + Antenna = Ready in minutes
Is Your City Broadcasting in ATSC 3.0?
As of 2025, most major metro areas like Los Angeles, Dallas, Chicago, Atlanta, and Seattle have active ATSC 3.0 signals. Rural areas are catching up fast.
With the GTMEDIA X1, you can receive both new and legacy signals depending on where you live—no signal left behind.
